sizeof

The villagers concealed both the sizeof their herds and the extent of their earnings.

While most operators on arrays and pointers are equivalent, it is important to note that the sizeof operator will differ.

The number of elements in a declared array a can be determined as sizeof a / sizeof a0.

They reached the command center then, and Derec saw that the deck was a mosaic of several hundred hexagonal metal tiles the sizeof a dinner plate.

The read ( ) function reads sizeof(buf) bytes from the associated stream and puts them in the buffer pointed to by buf.

He also noted that "typeof and sizeof share the same backend, because sizeof has to compute the type anyway."

These may include operators which reference or dereference pointer (computing)s, which access Array data type elements, or get the sizeof a data type.

The old Lady Edwina had been less than half the sizeof the Seraph, and even his father's cabin had been a dog-kennelcompared to the spacious stern cabin, which was now at Hal'sdisposal.

To avoid this mistake in C and C++, the sizeof operator can be used to determine the size of these primitive types if decisions based on their size need to be made, both at compile- and run-time.

Defining an object of type S, a function taking an argument of type S, or using S in a sizeof expression are examples of contexts where S must be complete, and therefore require a definition.

Implementations of C had to use four 9-bit bytes per word, since the 'malloc' function in C assumes that the size of an int is some multiple of the size of a char; the actual multiple is determined by the system-dependent compile-time operator sizeof.
